MS Anti-Spyware Beta 1 or MS Bit Defender Beta 2?
Okay MS announced Defender Beta 2 anti-spyware a couple days ago. Here's my question...is it a better alternative from their Anti-Spyware Beta 1. Is the Beta 1 now a down level unsupported program that the Beta 2 now does? A stupid question maybe but I'm not sur if I needed to uninstall Beta 1 then load Beta 2 or let them both run, or if the Beta 2 would automaticall overwrite the Beta 1. I ininstalled the Beta 1, installed Defender Beta 2....did I do what was supposed to be done or whats the deal? tj

I find it scary to have to pay a company to protect their own product.
